Before any job begins, a worker and supervisor should assess the work they are about to do. That often includes analysing what needs to be done, deciding what materials are needed, and finding out what the site conditions are like. But what is sometimes overlooked at this stage is the safety of those on the worksite. Planning needs to include a job safety analysis (JSA) also known as a job hazard analysis (JHA), a hazard risk assessment (HRA), or a risk assessment control (RAC). Whatever the name, the purpose is the same—to make a work task safe for workers.
